Bruiser or jungler on your team should be building the BC item. You'll still get the benefit of it. LW is usually the fifth item I build. The reasoning behind the mogs and the reason you'll see the majority of the pro's building it 3rd/4th is the mid game/early late game becomes a matter of...

I thought Little Chicago was an amazing and creative magical tool. I could just imagine Harry walking down a street and taking brick, plastic, metal, etc shavings off of each building then incorporating them in to the models. Fits the oddness of the character while being an effective...

My previous post was an attempt at giving it a real explanation. The truth is and JB said this on his forums about a year back; "If Harry carried around every piece of magical gear he could create then I'd literally never be able to put him in a bad position. He'd just grab potion #31298 and...

I've seen a good variety in successful AP yi builds. A fun one is liandry's, RoA (or Rylai's), hourglass, D-cap. Nice health, nice damage potential, and the burn from liandry's is procced on to all of his alphas strike targets. Some people go for an early athene's and skip the liandry's for lane...

If we are talking about playing the game properly, as in the adc can actually farm in lane and their team allows them to farm in between objectives, then I really don't see a huge issue with adc's for the most part. My usual build when I go adc (which isn't really my best role) is BT -- Atkspd...

The best part about those comments was DL talking about how Draven was trash and not even 24 hours later QTpie thrashed them with Draven. Including a 2v4 with Draven/Kayle coming out on top twice. Scarra having the post game interview and talking about how Draven was an absolute must have for...

Potions have a very direct and focused effect and as far as we've seen and have to be imbibed in the Dresdenverse so that limits their offensive utility. Everything I could think of that would be multi-use or commonly used his regular paraphernalia or innate abilities already gives him. Shields...

Book one gives you ~15 years of time if I'm correct in thinking that Arlen is a good five years younger the Jardir. The whole of books two and three covers three months of actual plot advancement. Biggest actual (and only) advancements in books two and three would.... Not counting the...

I think his writing style and clumsy use of Characters told me early on that his upside wasn't going to be that great. For instance if you look at Sanderson's early books (Elantris) I could tell that while he has a penchant for Scooby-Doo endings his character work and world building were...

I don't see the big difference between this book and the first two. Outside of the ward/coreling living experience Brett didn't bring anything amazing or new in the first or second book. His characters have pretty much kept to what they were in the first two novels as well. Its decent, nothing...

Jets could never do that. Don't know if choppers still can though.

Complexity is the only team that is really getting stomped at this point. However they have only played 2 games so far. Which puts them were Vulcan/Wolves/GGU were two weeks ago. Hopefully they can make a strong showing tomorrow and next week to up their win mark a little bit. Really, the big...

Ruh roh, abusing them mod powers.

Don't get me wrong, I detest Renna's character and her development or lack thereof. I am however happy to see a hero who actually sounds out of place when dealing with the better bred powers that be. Usually even if the protagonist starts out talking like that settings bumpkin they eventually...

Granted its only three weeks in but Curse looks like a machine.

Ciaphas Cain books are probably my favorite 40K series. Still brings the 40k grit while being pretty humorous, and it is always nice to get a break from being inundated with space marine power levels every time I pick up a 40K book.

Yup, annoying character. However the last was explained in the second book. As a messenger he learned many dialects and modes of speech and used whichever was appropriate to the location he was in. The second book said something about him returning to Tibbet's Brook and actually speaking like...

It came close. But the ending portions of V:TM Bloodlines that devolved in to way too much mindless action brings it down a notch. The first 2/3rds for me were close to perfect though.

The corelings aren't the bad guys at this point. At least not the main ones. They don't need deep motivations or character, being essentially the zombie horde back drop for the main characters to carry out their personal struggles. Book 1>3>2 at this point for me.

Probably is talking about how you have to buy runes which either limits your champion pool or makes you buy champs with cash.

Haha, yup. I've been messing around with support because I'm in a funk with my jungle/top roles. Go 0/0/15 as Taric. Stomped bot lane with a sub par adc then was forced to initiate because our Maoki was a chickenshit. The adc and the maoki on our team are slobbeing the knob of a 5-5-9 Garen at...

Agreed. I think the people that are arguing in favor of silent protagonist aren't even really doing that. At least for myself I enjoy the directed protagonist when it makes sense as in ME but I don't feel that in every situation a voiced/directed hero is hands down superior to a silent main...

Bethseda main story lines being weak or not isn't the point. The silent protagonist in an open world like that allow you to create a story experience not allowed in a Mass effect type game. If your inability to enjoy it hampers that style, then fine that is preference. However I find that style...

Totally personal preference. Shepard is Shepard regardless of your choices. Whereas my khajit thief is vastly different from a storytelling standpoint and the actions they carry out when set against the play through of my Imperial pacifist priest. Sometimes I enjoy the more cinematic experience...

Well, if you're going to ignore the only metric by which you can measure player skill in this game, then I don't know what to tell you. Hope that you aren't last pick? Because the attitude you are displaying is why these people aren't giving you the role you called as a low pick. They don't...

Man, you not only managed to complain about GD like this was GD. You also managed to toss in the backhanded swipe regarding mmr and the validity of opinions based on it. Thanks for contributing to the GDness of this thread.

So because someone types faster they should have preference? You have no clue how good the fast typist is anymore then you know how good the higher pick order is. I sure as shit know that if I'm going to jung or top for the specific game and my last pick calls the role then whines like a baby...

Not hard enough to prevent him from farming his lane. Also Brand (who is an inferior ap to start with) doesn't beat Ryze post 6 unless Ryze is fighting in a creep wave. edit to clarify my stance: Hard countering doesn't always mean that a champ can completely lock down another champ. It...

Depends on who you play. Certain safe picks like lux, Ori, ryze, tf, Gragas and kayle mid can be picked without too much fear of counter picking. They can all farm from safety while having the tools to deal with a variety of different champs. But yes, if you plan on playing a niche champ or one...

Reds haven't completely taken a side in the pick order verses call debate, but they kind of have. A couple of the reds have linked the portion of the summoners code where it states that last pick should be rounding out the team even if it isn't their preferred role they have to play. So if I...

Just need to find a good duo queue partner. Most of the pro's even duo until 1800's on their smurfs just to ensure they get out fast. If people like HotshotGG and Regi can be stuck at 1600-1700 elo for weeks to a month soloing then we aren't getting out without help.

That is the life of a jungle. You're viewed as the support for the whole team, including the lane that already has a support.

1.) Planescape 2.) Baldur's gate 2 3.) Morrowind 4.) Battlefield 2 5.) League of Legends/DotA

I like it and I don't. I like the floor because after spending two months at `1520-1720 last season then getting pissed off at the game and going on a long break my losing streak + elo decay put me below gold at the end of the season. I also haven't seen any real rate loss for advancing. Then...

Sort of. The tiers however are not who you are playing with. Your elo (even hidden) is what matches you against other opponents. I'm in silver V (playing promotion series yay!) at the moment and the majority of my games are against silver 1 and gold 5-3 players at this point. Its mostly because...

Cutler gives no shits.

I don't think the PBE changes are really what they want to do, or if they are then this isn't going to solve the problem. Xin's biggest OP is the essential double dive you get with the locket, all those changes are going to do is possibly make you build CDR boots in order to pull off the dive...

Well, looks like Jarv, Xin, and Vi are on the chopping block for nerfs. A little faster then I expected but it is what it is. Time to iron out the wrinkles on my Zed jungle so that I can stay ahead of the Fotm curve again. Although I am kind of surprised that Riot picked up on Vi this quickly...

Haven't tried LW since the basic builds I've posted have done such good work for me so far, but I'll dick around with it in normal drafts to see how they compare.

I've been picking Vi for when my team has more CC and then Xin/Lee for when I need to bring some better cc myself. Vi is to me the most offensive minded of the good junglers right now, and the BC has been the difference between soloing out that adc or guy I caught alone and not. But yah I can...
